This year’s Star Wars Celebration gave the fans of the franchise a new hope for its future with the announcement of three new movies in the works. One announcement that was most surprising for fans though was the return of actor Daisy Ridley as Jedi Master Rey in her own movie to be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. While most details about the project are tightly under wraps it’s understood that the feature will be a continuation of Rey's story.

The upcoming feature is set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker and will see Rey focusing on rebuilding the Order. However, she wasn’t the only one pursuing that goal.
How Does Rey’s Movie Connect to James Mangold's Star Wars Movie? Rey was first introduced in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, living on the desert planet Jakku, trying to survive as a scavenger. Her following appearances saw her failing to bring Kylo Ren back to the light as well as defeating her grandfather Emperor Palpatine and adopting the name Skywalker. The upcoming movie will now focus on that post-First Order time effectively working as a sequel to The Rise of Skywalker.

Kennedy explains, “It was something that Jim [Mangold] immediately sparked to, and I think it's a really nice compliment to what we're doing with moving into the future with Rey, and then understanding a bit more of where this all came from.
Currently, no release date has been set for the Rey movie. You can watch this space for further details.
